Title: 並列するマルチチャンネル検出を具備するｍｒ撮像方法
IPC: G01R33/3415
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: できる限り短い取得時間が所望されるアプリケーションに特に適したＭＲ撮像方法である。この方法は、画像の取得を減少する視界（ＦＯＶ）で行なうことを可能にするＳＥＮＳＥ方法に基づいている。並列するマルチチャンネル検出はこのとき、異なる空間感度プロファイルを持つ受信素子により実行される。この方法は、従来のバードケージ型共鳴器が空間感度プロファイルが大きく外れた異なる共鳴モードに同調可能であるという事実の認識に基づいている。複数の副共鳴器から成るバードケージ型共鳴器は、１つの共鳴周波数において異なる共鳴モードにおいて同時に動作することを可能にし、異なる感度プロファイルを持つ並列する独立した信号検出を可能にする。この特徴はＳＥＮＳＥ方法を実行するのに用いられる。

IPC: H04J13/10
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: Techniques to generate a pseudo-random number (PN) sequence at a desired phase using "masking" to adjust the phase of the PN sequence in coarse increments (e.g., 64-PN chip increments) to account for a large phase adjustment. Slewing may then be used to adjust the PN phase in fine increments (e.g., 1/8 PN chip increments) to obtain the desired phase. Prior to each scan for the pilot from a particular base station, a PN mask corresponding to a phase closest to the start of a new search window is applied to a PN generator to obtain an initial phase for the PN sequence. From the initial phase obtained by the applied mask, the PN generator is then slewed to the start of the search window. The masking can be used to obtain a large phase adjustment in less time, which is likely to improve search performance.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing both enantiomers of karanone which are contained in aromatic woods such as aloeswood and agilawood and are useful as a perfume material of a perfuming composition for fragrant cosmetics, foods, drinks, and the like.  <P>SOLUTION: The method for preparing the optically active karanone comprises mixing a mixture containing (+)-karanone and/or (-)-karanone with an optically active tartaric acid derivative to form a clathrate compound of an optically active isomer of karanone with the optically active tartaric acid derivative and subsequently separating the optically active isomer of karanone from the clathrate compound. The method permits acquisition of the both enantiomers of the optically active karanone, which is heretofore hard to obtain, by a simple operation in a high yield and yet at a high chemical and optical purity. The optically active tartaric acid derivative used is readily available and can be almost quantitatively recovered and repeatedly used thereby permitting reduction of the preparation cost.
